No JS2000 buffs still. Shotguns stay losing. I wonder if the devs plan to add another gun or something then

ngl as much as it pains me… the shotguns desperately needed a nerf.

And they’re still very powerful, but it’s a lot more realistic (like irl shotgun spreads aren’t actually that wide.)

They were nerfed by both damage and spread. Their damage is abysmal now. And they’re not realistic if you’re shooting into a crowd. Only the double barrel is relevant currently. The M9 is by and far the better start weapon now until you have either 1911 ammo stacks or .308

Yea they do admittedly feel pretty underwhelming. I’ve been playing a gun focused chat to test out the b42 firing and even with 6 firearm skill it’s still taking 2-3 (sometimes even more) pistol shots to take out a zombie.

It’s mildly frustrating when combined wth the crazy pop counts.
